This piece is a reimagination of Siāwčamāna.
Siāwčamāna is a well-known traditional Kurdish song from the villages of Uramanat, an ancient cultural region in the Zagros Mountains. The song belongs to the rich musical tradition of the Hawrami people, and it is thought to have evolved from a song performed in religious ceremonies in Zoroastrian times or possibly earlier.

A reimagination of Siāwčamāna (2023)

I am composer, violist and sound artist.

I work in electroacoustic and acoustic music, combining modular synthesis, field recordings, and handmade sound objects with my instrumental practice. My practice combines contemporary classical techniques with experimental sound design, focusing on texture, spatial detail, and the dialogue between acoustic and electronic worlds.

Drawing from Iranian musical heritage and modern sound design, I create works for film, performance, and interdisciplinary projects.
